Date for Europa Universalis IV Immersion Pack Announced

African Themed Add-On Coming 11 November

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – 19 October 2021 – The gold of Zimbabwe. The ivory of Central

Africa. The great city of Timbuktu. The temples of Ethiopia. Africa is the birthplace of

humanity and a land of untold wealth and variety. Rediscover and rewrite the history of the

continent in a new immersion pack for Europa Universalis IV, coming 11 November 2021.

In Europa Universalis IV: Origins, new African missions add greater variety and new goals

for some of Africa’s most powerful and interesting nations. The fading giant of Mali, the holy

hills of Ethiopia and the African trade centres of the Indian Ocean are given new depth and

richer context.
